[Fsf-friends] A National Shame

[doxa at antispam]

M$ is known to bribe politicians secretly and announce concessions to public
institutions openly. What is disturbing here is that all left-front ruled
governments in India figure in their list as do the Government at the centre,
where the left-front is the principal supporter for its policies. Is Bill
Gates' anti-theological stand (made public in 1996 when e-governance was taking
roots in Kerala), such a strong and convincing reason for this covert
friendship. Will they do this to all capitalists who renounce existence of God
?

I think this is a terrible shame and more shameful is the fact that they had
already entered into strategic partnership and alliance with State Governments
involved for e-governance efforts, when news were spread that Microsoft became
a technology choice after due deliberations with expert committees. Microsoft,
at least, is not lying here. Its the middlemen, those proxies,  who are playing
the treacherous game with the citizens of the nation.
